Food Consumed by Stock.

Food consumed by fattening stock is
neither wasted or largely consumed by
them, but much of the plant food CON
tained in 1t is found in their excrement.
Professor Gorssman, of the Massachu-
setts Agricultural station, estimates the
value OF various articles of food for manur-
ing directly as follows:
Corn $6.SS per ton, cotton seed cake
meal S26 80, wheat bran S13 13, linseed
cake meal $50. 49, gluten meal $1S.1s.
Other researches by eminent chemists
place the amount absorbed by fattening
mature animals as from 8 to - per cent
OF the value, and by growing stock and
mich cows at about 90 per cent of the
value. There should remain then from
W to 90 per cent. of the above named
values in the manure and urine obtained
by feeding the above described articles,
provided it is all saved.
